    So far, so good for Darren Aronofsky’s Noah. The biblical (but not biblical) epic took in $44 million to finish first. I am sure the audience was divided between Christians who didn’t know what they were getting into and Aronofsky fans that wanted to see how he could top Jared Leto shooting heroin into a gaping hole in his arm.

    With Captain America opening next week, we will see if Noah can stay afloat. Sorry, I had a one pun limit for this article.

    Frozen had a big weekend. It became the highest grossing animated film of all time passing Toy Story 3. Maybe now people can finally let it go.

    Damn, two puns.

    1. Noah- $44 million/ $44 million

    2. Divergent- $26.5/ $95.2

    3. Muppets Most Wanted- $11.3/ $33.3

    4. Mr. Peabody & Sherman- $9.5/ $94.9

    5. God’s Not Dead- $9.0/ $22.0

    6. The Grand Budapest Hotel- $8.8/ $24.4

    7. Sabotage- $5.3/ $5.3

    8. Need For Speed- $4.3/ $37.7

    9. 300: Rise of an Empire- $4.3/ $101.1

  • The First Noah Trailer Is Way Better Than It Should Be

    He has been Superman’s father, Robin Hood and a gladiator. Now Russell Crowe is taking on the role of Noah in Darren Aronofsky’s new film. The first trailer has just been made available and it is as big as you think it will be.

    I am going ahead and giving pre-warning to religious people who think they are going to go to the theater next year and see a big epic telling of their favorite flood story of the Bible. Go and watch some of Aronofsky’s other movies (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan, etc.) and prepare yourself for a completely different story than you know.

    I am excited to see what Aronofsky will do with his first big budget movie and see how mad the church will get when it releases.

    Noah releases on March 28, 2014.
